Hi to you all out there, as 07 draws to an end and the most memorable year of the bands career reaches it conclusion, a few bits to update you on!

Well it was always going to come to an end guys and we are sad, but delighted, to be able to announce the last four dates of the tour:

Sunday 19th November – The Cartoon - Croydon

You may have heard that the world famous Cartoon is closing at the end of November and we are proud to announce we will be one of the last bands ever to play there.

It is our last London date and the last chance for London punters to hear the whole of RHETORIC in a live setting.

With special guests: Jo McCaffertey, The Resonance Association

Sunday 26th November – The Robin - Bilston

A welcome return to the scene of the show stealing Summers End performance – see below- Not our words, just check the reviews….

CREDO will be on second, should be a great great night…..

Friday 1st December – The Riga Bar – Southend

The last night of our dual dates with LANDMARQ, CREDO will be on first around 8.45.  This is a great venue and billing that deserves your attention!

Friday 8th December – Riffs Bar – Hook nr Swindon

The last night of the tour……

This venue has become legendary in Prog circles and a year from opening for ARENA, CREDO return to RIFFS with special guests and good friends ALSO EDEN.

It promises to be a great night, and there is very likely to be an appearance from a very special guest…..

We can’t say who, but it will be memorable!!!

Recent Shows

Summers End – Bilston – October  

As you may have heard CREDO delivered a blistering 60 minute set, the set list was:

The Game
Skintrade
Seems Like Yesterday
Too Late To Say Goodbye
The Letter
From The Cradle To The Grave

Tim’s guitar work was amazing on the day, Jim and Mart were as tight as a well tight thing and Mike was spectacular.  The big man had the audience in the palm of his hand from the first minute and the stories reached new heights!  The Top Of The Pops story that has been growing recently caused much hilarity!!!  The Letter reappeared after a bit of a rest and nearly brought the house down, and then they finished with Cradle….

Loads of RHETORICS, FIELD OF VISION and T SHIRTS sold, a great days work…

Classic Rock Society Herringthorpe – Rotherham – 4th November

Well, what can you say, an “Overnight Sensation” with a combined age of over 200 years!  After first playing for the CRS back in 1994 the boys were invited for their very first Major Headline Show and what a what to bring the last few dates of the year long RHETORIC tour to a head.

It was a great night, the place was very full, especially considering it was a first headline and support came from old friend Oliver Wakeman and Anemo, both of whom were well received and laid down the challenge down for the boys…. 

The set opened with PARTY making a return to live action for the first time in 10 years and from the “Welcome…” intro the band were on top form.  The Game, Turn The Gun and Skintrade followed before another surprise in the shape of an acoustic version of ALICIA from FIELD OF VISION, the song was spectacularly received and Jim and Martin returned to the stage for Seems like Yesterday.  A poignant Too Late followed by a storming Letter and by now the band were on fire.  A KINDNESS returned and Mark donning the balaclava again for the attack section added just the right amount of  theatre to the song.  It was the end of the set, but not the end of the night as the audience demanded a return and the boys duly responded with an excellent version of “From The Cradle To The Grave” featuring a guest appearance from a young lad in the audience on tambourine!

Again, plenty of cd’s, and shirts sold and loads of new friends!

Be interesting to see what happens in the next CRS Awards Poll after that show….

The Big Man

There are a number of rumours circulating at the moment about Mark and his health, and just to put the record straight Mark has requested that the following statement be issued:

“Guys, as many of you know I was very ill a couple of years ago, sadly I require more surgery, nothing too scary but major surgery never the less.  The disease hasn’t come back I am pleased to say and it is only repair work that is required.  The intention was to tour the album to the end of this year, and that’s pretty much what we have done, I will be back in between the RIFFS show and Christmas and intend to be fully back on my feet and ready to perform again by the end of January.  

Hope you can all make a show between now and then and let’s see you all at RIFFS for the last show of the tour, a Christmas extravaganza and to say au revoir before I go into hospital!”

Love and loads of it

ALICIA xxxx
